It's all you owe anybody. it’s neither to me, always look out for number one i say. let everyone else burn. my parents had the nerve to conceive in Australia, doesnt make me proud to be an australian as im resting on the laurels of other men, i havent done anything to improve the place.

Most of the self-confessed patriots I've met from the US and my country (Scotland)seem to possess the ignorant, insular and blinkered "with-us-or-against-us" attitude which attracts so much derision from those outside the Anglosphere.

Patriotism gives you a sense of what your country should hold it's self up to. It lets you know when your country strays from its righteous path into a path of discontent and perversion of it's self. Love for your country and what it stands for is just as manly as loving your family and what it stands for. Yes, Patriotism is incredibly manly.
